57 cup trainwreck or back to the fetal position

One of the more uncomfortable aspects of the detox so far has been the extreme caffeine withdrawal I've gone through the last few days. I've stopped drinking coffee and tea before and was expecting the extreme discomfort, but either it's worse this time or I have a rather bad memory. Around 2 pm on day 2 I could feel the creeping symptoms of caffeine withdrawal: slight headache, difficulty focusing upon sensory inputs, fatigue and thirst. By 4 pm I was curled up on the couch and effectively passed out for the rest of the day. Yesterday was similar, if less intense, with a 2 hour nap taking care of my headache. Supposedly when people start the detox they often have headaches when the toxins in their body start moving about, but I'm pretty sure this was connected to all the espresso I've been drinking. Ahhh, espresso - maybe I'll see my true love around valentine's day, but for now I've found a new drinking buddy in chicory...
